Case Study: Pigeon Netting Installation in Three Loading Bay Canopies – Wales Project

This week, the Agripest Management team travelled to sunny Wales for a specialist commercial bird-proofing project. Nick and Chris were tasked with installing new pigeon netting across three large loading bay canopies for an industrial client experiencing persistent bird activity.

It was a long day on-site — but the results speak for themselves, and the customer was delighted with the outcome.

The Challenge

The client had been struggling with:

Pigeons roosting in the canopy areas
Droppings creating hygiene and slip risks
Feathers and nesting materials contaminating loading zones
Damage to stock, vehicles and equipment
High-traffic staff areas affected by bird activity

Pigeon fouling can create significant health hazards and cause operational issues, especially in warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing sites.

They needed a durable, long-term bird-proofing solution that would protect staff, products and equipment without disrupting daily operations.

Our Solution: Professional Pigeon Netting Installation

Nick and Chris carried out a full site assessment and installed high-quality, UV-stabilised pigeon netting across all three loading bay canopies. The work included:

Installing strong perimeter fixings
Tensioning wire frames for long-lasting support
Fitting discreet, professional-grade netting
Ensuring access points remained functional for staff
Securing all gaps to prevent pigeons returning

The netting provides an effective, humane bird-proofing barrier that prevents pigeons from entering or nesting in the canopies — without affecting airflow or visibility.

The Result

✔ Three loading bay canopies fully bird-proofed
✔ No more pigeon mess, contamination or disruption
✔ Improved hygiene and safety for staff
✔ Reduced cleaning and maintenance costs
✔ A very happy Agripest customer!

This installation now provides long-term protection, helping the business maintain clean, safe and efficient loading operations.
